The light towers surrounding Los Angeles International Airport glowed purple and gold on Sunday night.

@flyLAXairport: "Tonight, LAX’s pylons will be lit in purple and gold in memory of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and all those who were with them in today’s unthinkable accident. Kobe was in many ways a symbol of Los Angeles and we join his family, fans and city in mourning all who were lost today."

The Lakers colors could also be seen on the Los Angeles City Hall, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted Sunday.

@MayorOfLA: "Lights for a legend. Los Angeles City Hall lit in purple and gold starting at 8:24 p.m. this evening in honor of Kobe Bryant’s storied championship career and in memory of Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, and all who perished in today’s tragedy."
